Located in the front courtyard of The Pasadena Playhouse, Saso is Spanish/Mediterranean spot with a patio that feels like you apparated to a real plaza in the south of Spain. There’s a bubbling stone fountain, string lights hanging overhead, and massive trees providing natural shade as the sun sets over downtown Pasadena. It’s somewhere you could use for a number of different situations, but we love it most for date night, when you can share a bunch of pintxos (don’t miss the wagyu steak bites with chimichurri) and take advantage of a wine list where most of the bottles fall under $50.
